The Tobacco Tax,

The prospects for the repeal of the tobac-
co tax at the present session of Congress is
anything but cheering, A long CORES
pondcncc between Mcssrs Wise, Hender
son and Randall and Speaker Carlisle has
been given to the press. Life is 100 short
ana our space too valuable to fill it up with
this matter exclusively. Briefly the letters
of these gentlemen explain why no motion
was made to pass the bill under suspen-
sion Of the rules last Monday. The Wash
ington correspondence of the Rlchmond
Vhtg informs that paper that Speaker Car
Isle had said That if he recognized any one
to make the motion it would be Mr.. Kelley,
of Pennsylvania, Republican, but the
Democratic friends of the measure thought
that The motion should como from a Dem
ocrat. Accordingly, committee addressed
u communication to him. asking him to
recognize Democrat to make the motion,
bnt Hp then refused to recognize any one
for that purpose. Charlotte OAr0nicL6.

JnCkSon'S y Ghost.

The following story appears in the
Richmond State:
L send you thrilling and true account
OF n ghost which has recently appcarcd
at the Virginia Military Institute. On
the night Of tho 2Sth, shortly after II
o'clock, as the sentinel was walking his
lonely beat, his attention was attracted
through the sally port to the front Of
tho barracks by q slight sound rcscm-
bling the rustling Of leaves by a. gentle
wind. Instantly, between the two large
1orty-SlX pound siege pieces, there up-
pcarcd soldier dressed in Confederate
uniform and mounted on large gray
horse. His sword was drawn, his horse
tightly rcincd up, and two white plumcs
tloated gracefully about his hat. The
sentinel at first, almost paralyzcd with
terror, had gazcd upon the object, but
IN an instant, when the horse had started
through tho sally port into the court
yard Mt round trOt, crossing the scnti-
nela beat, making no audible sound, al
though he was passing over II solid brick
pavement, tho sentinel, true to his mill
tary principle, challenged with loud
voice, "Who goos thcrc?" The rider dill
not heed the challenge, but passed on at
tnc SAME pace until arriving ut an
abrupt, dangerous and impossible proci-
plco in the rear of the barracks he van,
lshcd. On the next night similar phc
nomonon occurred. An old veteran pres
cnt recognized the grand and imp6sinc
rider to be none other than that O
General Stoncwall Jackson. So far No
explanation can be given.
